I am getting some weird errors from the following code:
The errors I am getting are:

Any ideas what is going on?
The usual check list :
- have you included the header file ?
- Are you sure that D3DUtil isn't used already by DX itself ?
- Is CUSTOMVERTEX already defined in a different manner ?
Seems that the header isn't included as should.

I checked all that and am still getting the same errors. It's probably something really simple but I just can't work it out. Dang it.
You're going to need to post some more code before I can figure exactly what's going on. One thing is that it looks like you're trying to initialise the array by calling functions outside of any execution block. Also, if you're defining that CreateVertex() function in the header file and it's not inline you'll probably have link errors if the header is included anywhere else. There may be other issues but I can't see from that snippet.

my guess is that the code is at global scope, ie: not in a function. The code is then interpreted as a new array missing a type, so it's assuming int, then complaining that you've asked for it to be 0 size, then complaining that you're not assigning it int values.
Then another array.. etc.
It's not expecting code because it's not in a function.

Jeeeesus...I knew it would be something simple...
What a weiner I am...like you have said, the code is in global space and not in a function...thanks yall
